Engineering Selection Recommendations

SCHURTER 6183.0001 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 6183.0008. Both components share identical series designation (5213), panel cutout dimensions (37.40mm x 29.20mm), panel thickness (0.059" / 1.50mm), and ingress protection rating (IP40). The 6183.0001 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part provides direct functional replacement with no design modifications required.

SCHURTER 4797.0020 serves as an alternative substitute with full electrical equivalence. This component belongs to the 4797 series and incorporates expanded approval certifications (CCC, cURus, ENEC). Panel cutout dimensions are slightly larger (37.60mm x 29.50mm) and panel thickness tolerance is increased (0.079" / 2.00mm). The 4797.0020 lacks specified ingress protection rating. Selection of this part requires panel modification to accommodate the larger cutout dimensions.

Both substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, suitable for new designs and legacy system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 6183.0001 be used as a direct replacement for 6183.0008?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (16A, 250VAC), connector style (IEC 320-2-2/J), mounting configuration (panel mount, snap-in), and panel dimensions. No design modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between 6183.0001 and 4797.0020?

A: The primary differences are panel cutout dimensions and thickness tolerance. The 6183.0001 maintains the original 37.40mm x 29.20mm cutout with 0.059" panel thickness, while the 4797.0020 requires a larger 37.60mm x 29.50mm cutout and accommodates 0.079" panel thickness. The 4797.0020 also provides additional certifications (CCC, ENEC) but does not specify ingress protection rating.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 6183.0001 and 4797.0020 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for applications requiring IP40 ingress protection?

A: The 6183.0001 explicitly specifies IP40 ingress protection, matching the original 6183.0008. The 4797.0020 does not specify an ingress protection rating.

Q: Can 4797.0020 be used if panel modifications are not feasible?

A: No. The 4797.0020 requires a larger panel cutout (37.60mm x 29.50mm) compared to the original specification (37.40mm x 29.20mm). Panel modification is necessary for mechanical fit.

Q: What certifications apply to each substitute part?

A: The 6183.0001 carries cURus and VDE certifications. The 4797.0020 carries CCC, cURus, and ENEC certifications, providing broader regional compliance coverage.
